What if you could have personal health care based on your genes?
A new company wants to give patients—and doctors—access to truly individualized data.
Fri, Jul 25, 2014 at 07:38 PM
If it seems like we've been hearing about how medicine is going to be more personalized in "the future," it's because we have been hearing about it, and not seeing it, for decades now. If you're like me, you still have a folder stuffed full of a bunch of papers labeled "health care"— in my case from the two countries, and three states I've lived in during the past 15 years. I'm not alone—many Americans move; for jobs, for love, and for personal reasons. I've seen 7 different doctors in that time and the only thing holding all my health history together is that ratty folder. Not exactly the high-tech medicine we've been waiting for, despite having some of the most expensive health care in the world.
If we can't have something as basic as a centralized health care information repository, we may at least be able to move forward in another way—personalized medicine based on your individual DNA. Which sounds pretty awesome to me—I'd love to know what problems might arise as I grow older. Will I have macular degeneration like my grandmother? A bad heart like my father? Or did I get unlucky and somehow inherit a gene for cancer (even though it doesn't run in my family?). I have no idea, and like many people, only know the health history for some—but not all—of my relatives. Which means there's probably holes in my knowledge.
A new company, BaseHealth, is tapping into the consumer interest in preventing disease by using the same kind of technology that 23andMe, the company famously shut down by the FDA, used. 23andMe was barred by the government from giving medical information directly to consumers, because the agency saw it as "intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease."
So BaseHealth is taking that same information (now available at a lower cost than ever before thanks to companies like 23andMe), and making that same info available to doctors. Their platform, Genophen, will integrate medical records (those who do have electronic medical records will have to wait until later for that), lifestyle information provided by the patient, and genetic information (including predispositions to certain kinds of diseases) to inform their health plans for specific patients.
By including a doctor in the health care equation, BaseHealth avoids the problem 23andMe had with the FDA.
According to the BaseHealth site, "Genomic and non-genomic data are most useful in concert. For the first time, patients can responsibly explore their genomic data alongside clinical and behavioral analysis, in ongoing consultation with their doctor."
If that doesn't sound all that revolutionary to you, imagine this: At a visit to your doctor, she pulls up Genophen, with all your data loaded, including DNA details. Then she inputs a lifestyle change—like, say losing 40 pounds, or quitting smoking. Then the doc can show you what those changes might me for your particular set of disease risk factors and what the change could mean for your long-term health.
Basehealth's site says that 70% of diseases are preventable—with a look inside our DNA, we can more effectively prevent them, and take a lot of the guesswork out of health care.

gabriel san roman 5pts Her website says "Socially progressive, fiscally conservative." I've never understood such a notion. Being socially progressive and fiscally 'responsible' is something I can kick down with. Christina Avalos is more progressive. Too bad she isn't challenging Royce this time around. Voto en blanco.
Louellatrimble67u 5pts Mulattieri was instrumental in the formation of the Occupy movement here in Orange County http://www.diegohomes.com/
S.A. Artist 5pts D'Marie is twice correct. Occupy Santa Ana is alive and well. & it was fortunate to not be taken over by the anarchists. Knock on wood.
909Jeff 5pts Well I can tell you that they way she responded to those of us who thought the occupy people were a bunch of out of work stoners she didn't win any votes... But I am all ears for a good third party candidate.Good luck.. You'll need it! Oh and there are about 80,000 mostly middle class voters out here, who along with city, are engaging in a series of bitter lawsuits with so cal Edison... You might want to show up and participate in some of the city council meetings and protests. Ed Royce has and he's not even our congressman yet. Gary Miller finally showed his face at the last hearing.
D'Marie Mulattieri 5pts Hi Gabriel...I have had interesting reactions to the "Socially progressive, fiscally conservative" slogan. Some really love it and say, "That's me too!" and others, like yourself, really wonder what it means. I actually like fiscally responsibile as well. I use the term, "Fiscally conservative" to underscore the need for FULL accountability. To treat the taxpayers money as we do our own, or at least the way I am with my money or any business I have ever worked for. I always work to receive the best value for each dollar spent. I have consistently brought every project to completion on time and under budget. We must audit how and where money is spent. Redistribute money to the advantage of the taxpayers not the corporations and too big to fail banks. It is time for our country to join the 23 other industrialized countries that provide a social safety net for its citizens. We can do this very easily, by cutting the defense budget in half, removing the $106,000 cap on social security (which by the way is not struggling...yet) closing corporate loop holes and charging a financial transaction tax as well as reinstating a wealth tax.
909Jeff 5pts Or are you just opposed to anything labeled conservative? Because when I see the word progressive I know its a ruse meaning ultra liberal.
Christopher Neal 5pts Strange. Brandon Ferguson wrote that the anarchists outvoted the few activists remaining and took the $800 to the dam with them. He wrote that the anarchists thrashed her car, went to her house, and demanded the 800 bucks.
D'Marie Mulattieri 5pts Thanks for the heads up Jeff. I am wondering if Ed is for the people or Edison...his record is very much in favor of the corporations. Can you tell me which city? CD-39 contains 12 cities. I will be sure to look into the situation. I have been supporting San Clemente Green in their effort to permanently shut down San Onofre.
Christopher Neal 5pts I'm pretty sure the occupy people weren't out of work stoners because didn't they move to the dam and buy beer with the $800??? Wait, how can they hang out at the dam all day? Maybe they are out of work. Or they have a night job. Or hanging out is their job.
Christopher Neal 5pts At the turn of the century, communists rebranded themselves as progressives; the ideology has not changed.
gabriel san roman 5pts I think that 'fiscally conservative' implies that only conservatives know how to manage money. Have you heard anyone say 'fiscally liberal?' And what would that mean anyway? Lord knows there's been fiscally irresponsible liberals and conservatives from OC to DC, so 'responsible' is the preferred frame for me...
S.A. Artist 5pts That was not Occupy Santa Ana Mr. Neal, that was at "Occupy Orange County" in Irvine.
909Jeff 5pts It is Chino Hills and will be part of the new district and Ed Royce has been fighting on the side of the people... Even though our current congressman Gary miller has been largely absent! Here is the catch 22... The power lines are part of a renewable energy program to bring wind powered energy from Kern county to the LA basin. The problem is the right of way space that Edison is using is too narrow... According to Edison the lines are the legal required distance from the homes, But according to HUD and the FHA they are not, and there fore the people who are rushing to sell their homes to get away from this potential hazard are being further hampered by a buyers inability to get financing. So while I think most agree that renewable energy is something we need in the rush to get it done they are putting this community at risk. The second link has some pics. Good Luck! http://www.chinohills.org/Civi... http://www.hopeforthehills.org... http://www.dailybulletin.com/c...
909Jeff 5pts Thanks for the response and again good luck! I have been a big proponent of not voting for incumbents... I think a wholesale changing of the guard is in order and would be a drastic reminder to the arrogant politicians that they work for the people!
D'Marie Mulattieri 5pts Thanks Jeff, I will look into this and lend my support! I appreciate the info links as well. I totally agree with you. Renewable energy is important, however, we don't want to expose people to harmful effects by pushing something through that hasn't be thoroughly researched. I wonder if any environmental impact studies have been conducted. I will get to work on this. Please feel free to let me know of any other issues that arise in the district. It's a big district spanning Orange, Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties!

William Rowan Hamilton's (1805-1865) most important contribution to mathematics was his development of quaternions, which freed mathematicians from the confines of three-dimensional space. He first conceived of the idea in 1843 and, while he published notes on the subject for the use of his students, he did not consolidate his theories into a book until the end of his life. He died before the task was completed, and his son William finished the task and published Elements of Quaternions in 1866. When first published, the book was over 700 pages. In later editions, it was issued in two volumes.
On page 158 (above, left), the cyclic nature of multiplying the unit vectors \(i, j,\) and \(k\) is explained. On the following page (above, right) one encounters the fact that this operation of multiplication is not commutative.
On pages 160 and 161 (above) the reader is introduced to the Quadrinomial Form: \(q = w + ix + jy + kz.\)

Mark Messier admitted on Friday that he's one of the candidates who is interviewing for the vacant New York Rangers head coaching job, NHL.com reports.
"We had our scouts meetings and I've had conversations with [GM Glen Sather], and like anybody that would be interested in coaching, obviously the Rangers would be a dream come true for a lot of coaches," Messier said. "I told Glen I would have interest, so we've had discussions and that's where it stands right now."
Messier notes that it's far from a done deal, however.
"I'm not going to get into those kinds of specifics right now," Messier said. "It's way too premature. All I can say is I have interest in the job. I've had an interview with Glen and we'll see what happens."
Here's video of his comments:
Beyond his legendary moments with the squad, Messier does boast another familiarity bonus in that he's currently employed with the team, with the title Special Assistant to the General Manager and President.
Again, Messier isn't the only person bidding for the job, though.
New York Newsday reports that former Vancouver Canucks head Alain Vigneault spoke with the Rangers on Tuesday. Another name sprouted up on Friday, as Los Angeles Kings assistant (and former Philadelphia Flyers head coach) John Stevens is expected to receive an interview as well, according to the Los Angeles Times.

GS: okay Mark why don't you tell us your qualifications for the job?
MM: well I played for the Rangers, and was a good leader
GS: and?…
MM: I guaranteed a win once, we won that game.
GS: okay and tell us about your coaching experienceGS: surely you've coached somewhere before?
MM: not really
GS: anything else we should know Mark?
MM: I'm the ultimate leader and I'm proficient in Windows, Word and Excel
GS: We'll let you know.IMO this was done to please Rangers fans, I don't think he'll be a real candidate for the job.
- Windmiller4 - Jun 14, 2013 at 8:22 PM
I hope this was done just to make ranger fans happy, although i could see Sather hiring him. But, It is possible that he could turn into a good coach, with his leadership and knowledge of the game. If he truly wanted to get into coaching he'd get into the junior ranks and work his way up, he needs experience. Hiring him could be a high risk high reward kind of thing. Which Sather is known very well for doing, although it generally hasn't worked out in his favor
- purpledynasty - Jun 14, 2013 at 8:29 PM
Hiring Messier would be a stroke of genius by Sather. Messier is a motivator that knows how to communicate with people. He knows the game as well as anyone, and knows what it takes to win. The X's and O's are something that he's known and lived since playing days – translating that to the coach's position, with the help of assistant coaches is the LEAST of problems that ANY NHL coach needs to worry about. They're all working with professional players that know the basics of the jobs they need to get done. At the NHL level its about motivation and STYLE – I've always liked and respected Messier's style of play, style of character and style of communicating.

More importantly, it would get him off CBC.
- hockeyflow33 - Jun 14, 2013 at 10:41 PM
What a joke for that franchise. If they hire him, Sather should be canned immediately. Have Messier as an assistant or heading up a junior team at least.
- vanindeed - Jun 14, 2013 at 10:44 PM
AV is the logical choice for the Rangers.
- barkar942 - Jun 14, 2013 at 11:43 PM
I disagree. He has been unable to get Vancouver out of the first round for two years. I don't feel he will be able to do any better with the Rangers.John Stevens? He did a decent job with the Flyers, but not that impressed. Messier, no thank you. Stick to being primed for the front office.
I still say Mike Haviland, but my posts are falling on deaf ears.
- nyrnashty - Jun 15, 2013 at 12:05 AM
Av by far is their best option. Rangers have more talent than Vancouver and AV can get them to maximize it. The players will do anything for him as long as they don't have to block shots all game and force Lundqvist to be the 1st star in all of their wins.
- johnstone17 - Jun 15, 2013 at 7:15 AM
No deaf ears here. I'm a Mike Haviland fan.

My guess and hope is that it was just a courtesy interview, something to add to his resume.

Public Reprimand No. 2009-9 DAVID A. MOLLE Order (public reprimand) entered by the Board May 26, 2009. SUMMARY1 The respondent received a public reprimand for retaining earned fees in his IOLTA account, negligent misuse of client funds, and failing to maintain adequate trust account records. The respondent is a sole practitioner admitted to the bar in 2001. Between 2007 and 2008, the respondent failed to withdraw earned fees from his IOLTA account at the earliest reasonable time after his interest became fixed, thereby commingling his own funds with clients funds. His conduct in this regard was in violation of Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(b). Commencing at least as of 2007 and continuing through 2008, the respondent failed to maintain complete records of the receipt, maintenance, and disposition of client funds in the IOLTA account in violation of Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.5(f). During the same time period, the respondent failed to prepare and maintain a check register as required by Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(f) (1) (B); failed to prepare and maintain a chronological ledger as required by Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(f) (1) (C); and failed to prepare and maintain reconciliation reports at least every sixty days as required by Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(f) (1) (E). In August of 2007, as a result of his inadequate records, the respondent mistakenly drew out more fees than he was owed. This negligent misuse of trust funds violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(f) (1) (C). On September 27, 2007, the respondents bank telephoned him and informed him that he did not have sufficient funds in his IOLTA account to pay a clients check. The respondent rectified the deficiency by depositing $2,000 in personal funds to his IOLTA account the same day. The clients check cleared the following day and no deprivation occurred. The respondent took no steps thereafter to determine the source of the deficiency or to correct his record-keeping procedures until directed to do so by bar counsel in 2008. In February 2009, the respondent brought his IOLTA account into compliance and is keeping IOLTA account records as required by the Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15. On April 3, 2009, the parties filed a stipulation jointly recommending that the respondent a public reprimand for these violations. On April 13, 2009, the Board of Bar Overseers voted unanimously to administer a public reprimand to the respondent. 1 Compiled by the Board of Bar Overseers based on the record of proceedings before the Board.

Carnival Conquest Cruise Review by Mark: Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean
Member Rating
Compare Prices on Carnival Conquest Western Caribbean Cruises
Carnival Conquest - Western Caribbean
Conquest 10-11/05
Good: It's an super elegant ship all right. Very impressive when first boarding. Best was a four deck water slide. Good for kids, adults, fatties, etc. 10 piece showband. Good when they played decent music. Very seldom. 11 deck atrium and 4 glass elevators, Nice. Classical string music trio, including clarinet, very good. Jazz trio, guitar, drums, bass. Quite good and interesting. Trip to Tulum was interesting. Got our own tour for 5 for the price of one ship tour. Taxied to free beach at Jamaica. Fine, a few locals there. No facilities. Lovely free beach at the tender dock at Playa del Carmen. Can't knock the costumes and props for the productions. Good. Last day at sea, a beautiful, warm, sunny day.
Not so Good (similar to shades of bad): Always pounding, throbbing "music" everywhere. Had to sign out for pool towels with your credit. Productions needed much improvement. Had plenty of high kickers. Only two live vocalists, rest was lip synched. More
Live music but dreadful poor taste, loud and irritating. Announcements over the speakers was designed for the deaf. Maybe you get deaf when listening to all that din. One headliner, all time worst ever, take note, "Ron Joseph". Black, loud, talentless, had a giant Karaoke. Lots of audience on stage, yelling, screaming, whistling, etc. Second day and night, rougher seas than we ever experienced on a big ship. Went through a tropical storm remnant. Mostly rain. Minor inconvenience. Screaming and whistling was solicited for every event, even each bingo call. It was given. At Playa, worst tendering experience ever. Used 300, 500 passenger ferries. Took forever to load and unload. For the last tender to the ship the line was 2000 (?) people long. Awkward to get to dining room. Had to keep going through the casino. Problem was that you had to get past the galley and the forward dining room to get to our dining room.
Always enjoy magic shows. This one stunk. Mostly dancing and pounding "music". Little magic. The magician should have vanished herself.
Indifferent: Food was tasteful and nutritious(?) as expected. We could find room for improvement though. Service was good again as expected. Rained stay at Cayman, OK, we had no plans. Many tours cancelled. A shame for them. Experience: A fellow in line at the desk with two bags laundry. He turned his luggage in to porters at pier. Not been seen since. They did a complete ship search. We got a letter asking us to search our cabins, under bed, etc. All they offered was to do his laundry. Then at the desk, they knew nothing about it. Was he mad. He knew someone who knew someone and he was going to have the ship blackballed. Maybe the whole Carnival line? Of course the porters at the pier are not CC employees. Maybe the luggage is still there?
Bottom line: Little reason to repeat on Carnival Less

Digitising or digitisation is the representation of an object, image, sound, document or a signal (usually an analog signal) by a discrete set of its points or samples. The result is called digital representation or, more specifically, a digital image, for the object, and digital form, for the signal. Strictly speaking, digitizing means simply capturing an analog signal in digital form. For a document the term means to trace the document image or capture the "corners" where the lines end or change direction. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Digitisation)

CIFAL Curitiba at WUF 6: WIKICITIES - How to Bring Liveability to Cities by Effectively Designing and Implementing a Collaborative Digital Platform

Срок подачи заявки: 30 августа 2012
О мероприятии
Wikicities are based in the principle of social intelligence and provide a new form of community participation. The training workshop has close links with two of the 6th World Urban Forum's main dialogues: Liveable Cities and Quality of Life (High Quality Public Spaces) and Culture and the Prosperity of Cities.
Previous urban experiences with wiki-spots show that discussions generated by a digital platform contribute to leverage actions related to urban renewal. Ideas to regain ownership of public spaces and bring life to areas forgotten or abandoned are one result of this process.
Wikicities also stimulate citizens to revisit their local culture through and rediscover urban particularities undetected in our daily routine. One of the main objectives of the WUF 6 is to identify initiatives that contribute to the prosperity of cities.
Wikicities are based in the principle of social intelligence and provide a new form of community participation. The platform stimulates people to perform an active role to solve problems in their own territory on issues related to culture, urban space, education, entrepreneurship, safety, environment, among others.
Задачи мероприятия
The training proposed aims to present the concept of wikicities and how it can strengthen citizenship, social engagement and shared responsibility for better public spaces. The concept is based on a collaborative digital platform, which enables people to express a new problem, mark it on a virtual map and discuss it with peer citizens.
Содержание и структура
In the first part of the training, the concept of a wikispot, a geographical space that receives virtual georeferenced annotations, will be presented. Wikispots can be any physical space such as a city, a park or even an event venue. Two examples of wikispots in Brazil will be also provided: portoalegre.cc (a city) and redencao.cc (a park) to illustrate the application of the concept.
After the introductory presentations, workshop participants will participate in an interactive exercise to define and create a "wikicity" using the various models and options discussed. Participants will divide in groups to identify challenges related to the mock city. These identified challenges will be distributed among the various groups to then devise problem-solving solutions and micro-actions (e.g. During the first group exercise one group raises red flags an abandoned space and in the second group exercise, another group develops a strategy to revitalise the area).
Participants will also learn about the most commonly used tools in the process of communicating and mobilising public citizens around a specific urban challenge, such as social networks (e.g. Twitter and Facebook), email and word-of-mouth. An example of social mobilization will be also simulated by participants in the training and contrasted with concrete wikicity experiences.
In the last part of the workshop, participants will learn how to monitor and evaluate the performance of a wikicity project by using quantitative and qualitative indicators.
Целевая аудитория
Urban planning practitioners and students, local government representatives, members of NGOs and CBOs and the private sector.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Postal Service is continuing to hemorrhage money, reporting a loss Tuesday of more than $2 billion over the first three months of the year and warning it could be forced to default on federal payments.
Such a default would not interrupt mail service to millions of Americans, but it could further hobble an agency struggling with a sharp decline in mail because of the Internet and a tough economy.
The agency says the $2.2 billion loss covers Jan. 1 to March 31 — sharply higher than the net loss of $1.6 billion for the same period last year. The post office also said it will have reached its borrowing limit, set by Congress, of $15 billion by the end of the budget year on Sept. 30.
Unless Congress intervenes, the Postal Service said, the agency won't have the cash for certain payment to the government, such as billions for a trust fund to provide health care benefits for future retirees.
"The Postal Service continues to seek changes in the law to enable a more flexible and sustainable business model," said Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R. Donahoe. "The Postal Service may return to financial stability only through significant changes to the laws that limit flexibility and impose undue financial burdens."
Total mail volume, about 41 billion pieces, was down 3.1 percent for the January to March period, compared with the same time a year earlier, the Postal Service said. A modest increase in revenue from standard mail wasn't enough to offset the revenue loss from less first-class mail.
In the last three years, the agency has cut over 130,000 jobs. And it's making more cuts, with the elimination of about 7,500 administrative jobs in regional offices.
The Postal Service does not receive tax money for its operations.

If Obama Can Just Create A Trillion Dollar Coin, Then Why Do We Have To Pay Taxes?
Posted By admin On January 8, 2013 @ 6:05 am In Money Watch,Tile | Comments Disabled

Economic Collapse [1]
Jan 8, 2013
If Barack Obama can "solve" the debt ceiling crisis by printing up some trillion dollar coins, then why does the federal government need our money? As another debt ceiling showdown approaches, many in the liberal media are suggesting that if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling that Obama should just have the U.S. Treasury create a trillion dollar platinum coin and use it to pay our bills. It sounds crazy, but many notable voices (including Paul Krugman of the New York Times [2]) are supporting this idea. But if the federal government has had the power to create trillion dollar coins out of thin air all this time, then why do we have to pay taxes? Not only that, why do we have a national debt? If the federal government can just create money whenever it wants, then why does the federal government ever have to borrow it from others? The U.S. Constitution actually grants Congress the power to "coin money", so why is the Federal Reserve doing it? Those are some very important questions. Most Americans don't even realize that the U.S. government never actually needed to borrow a single penny from anyone else. The U.S. Congress has the authority to create debt-free money whenever it wants to. Conceivably, the entire federal government could be funded without ever borrowing a single dollar and without ever receiving a single dollar from any of us in taxes. Just imagine that – a nation without a single penny of national debt, no income tax and no IRS. What a wonderful world that would be. Of course there would be other potential dangers under such a system (such as runaway inflation), and those dangers would have to be addressed. But the truth is that we don't have to have an income tax or 16 trillion dollars of government debt. We only have those things because we have chosen to have those things.
Sometimes, a crisis can illuminate options that most people had not considered previously. As another debt ceiling crisis draws closer, many are looking for ways for the U.S. government to be able to continue to pay its bills if Congress does not authorize an increase in the debt ceiling.
If a debt ceiling agreement is not worked out, the U.S. government will soon only be able to pay about half the bills that are coming due after interest payments on the national debt (which will almost certainly be prioritized) are made.
That is why a lot of people on the left are pushing the "trillion dollar coin" alternative. So how would this work exactly? The mechanics were recently explained by Jim Pethokoukis on his American Enterprise Institute blog [3]…
There are limits on how much paper money the U.S. can circulate and rules that govern coinage on gold, silver, and copper. BUT, the Treasury has broad discretion on coins made from platinum. The theory goes that the U.S. Mint would create a handful of trillion dollar (or more) platinum coins. The President would then order the coins deposited at the Fed, who would then put the coin(s) in the Treasury who now can pay all their bills and a default is removed from the equation. The effects on the currency market and inflation are unclear, to say the least.
In my opinion, if anyone in the federal government is going to be creating money out of thin air, it should be the U.S. Congress. After all, according to Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution [4], it is the U.S. Congress that has been granted the authority to "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures".
But those that are pushing Obama to create a "trillion dollar coin" point to a law that Congress passed that allows the U.S. Treasury to mint platinum coins. The following is from a recent CNN article [5]…
Normally, the Federal Reserve is charged with issuing currency. But U.S. law, specifically 31 USC § 5112 [6], also grants Treasury permission to "mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins."
This section of law was meant to allow for the printing of commemorative coins and the like. But the Treasury Secretary has the authority to mint these coins in any denomination he or she sees fit.
But it wouldn't quite be that easy. According to a recent ABC News article [7], some elements of the coin design would have to be determined by legislation…
The more difficult part comes sometime after the decision is made to coin the platinum and before the Mint gets to work in sculpting the pieces.
At that point, the American people must decide whose face will adorn the trillion dollar trinket. The process to determine the "specs" of the coin, U.S. Mint Public Affairs Specialist Genevieve Billia warns, must be "determined by legislation," creating the potential for another congressional impasse.
So we would likely end up back at square one.
But if printing up a "trillion dollar coin" does not work out, Paul Krugman of the New York Times has come up with another option [8]…
Don't like the platinum coin option? Here's a functionally equivalent alternative: have the Treasury sell pieces of paper labeled "moral obligation coupons", which declare the intention of the government to redeem these coupons at face value in one year.
It should be clearly stated on the coupons that the government has no, repeat no, legal obligation to pay anything at all; you see, they're not debt, and therefore don't count against the debt limit. But that shouldn't keep them from having substantial market value.
Of course there is a very, very low probability that any of these wild ideas will ever be tried, but this debate has raised some very interesting points.
The truth is that we do not have to have a system where more money is only created when more debt is created [9]. We could have a system where the federal government directly creates debt-free money [10] that is spent directly into circulation by the federal government.
In fact, this has happened before.
As I have written about previously [11], during the presidency of JFK a limited number of debt-free United States Notes were issued by the U.S. Treasury and spent by the U.S. government directly into circulation without any new debt being created. In fact, each bill said "United States Note" right at the top.
Unfortunately, after JFK's presidency no more debt-free United States Notes were ever issued.
But even before JFK, there were times when debt-free United States Notes were being used. According to Wikipedia [12], United States Notes were first used during the Civil War….
They were originally issued directly into circulation by the U.S. Treasury to pay expenses incurred by the Union during the American Civil War. Over the next century, the legislation governing these notes was modified many times and numerous versions have been issued by the Treasury.
So why are we using debt-based Federal Reserve Notes today instead of debt-free United States Notes?
If the Federal Reserve did not exist and the U.S. government directly created money instead of borrowing it, it is conceivable that we could have a national debt of $0.00 today instead of $16,432,707,263,449.56.
Which option do you think our children and our grandchildren will wish that we had opted for?
In a system where the government directly created money, it is also conceivable that we could completely do away with the income tax and the IRS completely. The U.S. once prospered greatly without an income tax, and it could do so again.
And the truth is that our system of taxation is broken beyond repair. If you doubt this, just read this article [13].
So what would the downside be to such a system? Well, of course rampant inflation would be a huge danger. Allowing Congress to print up money whenever they wanted to would be playing with fire. That is why it would be imperative for there to be a hard cap on what the federal government could spend. For example, you could set the cap on spending by the federal government at 20 percent of GDP. That way we would hopefully never end up looking like the Weimar Republic [14].
And the current federal debt could be paid down a little at a time using newly created debt-free currency. This would have to be done slowly to keep inflation under control, but it could be done.
Of course if you wanted to continue to fund the federal government through taxation, there are other options that would still allow you to do away with the income tax. For example, one of the ways that our founders intended for the federal government to be funded was through tariffs, and we could definitely raise a lot of money that way. Plus, that would have the added benefit of making American companies much more competitive again and it would reduce the flow of American jobsout of the country [15].
So am I in favor of having Barack Obama create a trillion dollar coin to get around the debt ceiling crisis?
Most definitely not. If it does not violate the letter of the Constitution (which I believe it does), it sure does violate the spirit of it.
But if the U.S. Congress decided to shut down the Federal Reserve and the IRS and they decided to abolish the income tax, and instead they started directly issuing debt-free currency directly into circulation, that is something I would very much be in favor of.
Yes, that system would not be perfect either, but it would be far more preferable to what we have today.
So what do you think? Should we keep our current system of debt-based money, or would a system of debt-free money be better?

Visual Socialization (Instagram, Pinterest, etc.) - What are your thoughts? (self.marketing)
submitted 2 years ago by jpeters1221
I'm curious what everyone here thinks of visual socialization. That is, social media use revolving around the creation and sharing of images and videos (and yes, GIFs). I wanted to post this here rather than in r/socialmedia, because I wanted to see the point of view of "general" marketing folks.
Do you use, professionally, platforms like Instagram, YouTube, Vimeo, Vine, Pinterest, Tumblr and other visually oriented tools? Do you think they're valuable (FYI, they are...or can be)? Do you "just don't get them"? Do you like them but don't see what the ROI can be?
Just gauging thoughts. Thanks!
For reference this is a post from out agency blog: http://thehalogroupeffect.com/post/44220241164/the-rise-of-visual-socialization. You don't have to read it to contribute, but this is where the question is coming from.

I attended a CMI webinar yesterday that mentioned that video content rose in demand 70% from 2011 to 2012. I'd like us to get more into video, but staffing is an issue for us.
You've gotta figure out whether Pinterest, Instagram, etc. will work for your company and know what you want to get out of them. For example, we decided to go with a Pinterest account for one of our brands, but not an Instagram. Partially because there isn't anything we could think of to take pictures of, but also because Pinterest is a more aspirational platform that fits in better with our content.

That's great to hear. So many times, a company will jump into something on social because it's the "hot" thing...even if it doesn't make sense for them. I'm glad to hear that you evaluated what was best for you and then moved forward. THAT'S what is going to give you value.
[–]MercuryPDX 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
They're tools. Much as you would not use a sledgehammer to hang a picture, you need to right-size the platform with the client, their needs, and most importantly their ability to successfully use/maintain it.
For example: A domain name + Tumblr can be a great "no fuss" combination for a local contractor who wants a "business card" site to display a portfolio of his work, that he can update using pics taken on his smartphone.
I also think companies that try to "overacheive" in any form of social media often dilute their message, rather than enforce it.
[–]anandp29 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I did social media marketing for a few years and honestly, it is all about your target audience and the structure of your brand. Some brands are made for more visual social interactions (ex: fashion, cgp), and some you have to stretch it a little but can still find a way to integrate the visual aspect. Overall speaking, visual content usually works better on all social media platforms, including Facebook.
But back to my target audience comment, each social media network has a different kind of audience. The more obvious is Pinterest, which is widely dominated by women. If you as a brand have a strong focus on that demographic, then it makes complete sense. If you are a strictly male focused brand, it may not completely fit into your strategy.
[–]fedja 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Social marketing is about telling stories. More often than not, these stories aren't directly about your products, but the broader environment where your products are used. So the next question is, can you back this story up with images that are going to be interesting, and more importantly, shareable?
By shareable, I don't mean whether or not they're easy or hard to share. The question is, will the viewer want to share them? Will he feel like this is something he'd like to put on his (for example) facebook wall?
When you define your story well, you can always come up with images that are relevant to share. The big barrier to doing it right isn't so much in the actual images, but in your ability to tell stories which go beyond "20% off on stuff we sell" or "here's our product on a shelf".

Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the snowmobile industry is a program sponsored by BRP to support local snowmobile clubs across North America.
The Ski-Doo Club Support program, that has been available for the three previous years, is designed to allow clubs to raise money for trail development and maintenance. BRP donates $10 per each club member who takes the time to submit a certificate at their local Ski-Doo dealership. And it doesn't matter what brand of sled they ride.
Over the previous three years BRP had donated $2 million to snowmobile clubs across the United States and Canada. Each club is eligible to receive $1,500 ($10 x 150 club members). All it takes is club members taking the time to go to a Ski-Doo dealership and filling out a coupon.
The program also serves as a good reminder as to the importance of snowmobile clubs. It's by the effort of these clubs that not only the rights of snowmobilers are ensured, but that the quality of trails is maintained. Being part of a club provides strength and unity of the snowmobile communitym.

Duran Duran star Simon Le Bon is fuming after thieves broke into his car and stole his Christmas shopping.
The singer's vehicle was targeted while it was sitting in a public car park in London and he has revealed the crooks took a haul of his festive gifts.
In a series of posts on Twitter.com, he writes, "Thieves targeting Xmas presents in cars. I know, we came back to find the rear window of the car stoved (smashed) in and the presents nicked (stolen)… And that was in the Cadogan Place (in London) NCP (car park)."

Former Sen. Bob Dole
The Republican Party has changed so drastically in recent years, the current GOP wouldn't welcome the likes of Ronald Reagan, former Senate GOP Leader Bob Dole said Sunday.
The current GOP ought to be "closed for repairs" because it lacks a vision and is unable to strike deals with Democrats, Dole said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."
The Kansas Republican said he was disturbed by his party's obstructionist behavior on Capitol Hill. "It seems almost unreal that we can't get together on a budget or legislation," he said.
President Obama also deserves blame for failing to reach out to Republicans in his first term and cultivate better relationships across party lines, Dole said. Asked whether he would be welcomed by the Republican Party today, Dole said: "I doubt it. Reagan wouldn't have made it, certainly Nixon wouldn't have made it, because he had ideas. We might have made it, but I doubt it."
Washington Post


text: In my experience, waking up to a stocking filled with humorous, handy, or off-the-wall items (wrapped individually, of course) can sometimes be more fun than receiving one costly gift during the holidays. This just goes to show you that presents don't have to set you back a ton of money. Case in point: these stocking stuffers that are all $15 or less!

Martha Cooper (Thailand 1963-65) taught English in Thailand before journeying by motorcycle from Bangkok to London, where she earned a degree in ethnology from Oxford. Then she settled down in New York and went to work as a staff photographer for the New York Post. It was during this time, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, that she began to shoot some of the most famous photographs in the world.
She spent several years photographing elevated subway lines from empty lots the rooftops of buildings in a crime ridden South Bronx, capturing New York City's state of urban decay.  She was also able to gain the confidence of some of the most respected artists of this inner city community, such as DONDI, DURO, and LADY PINK. Assuming great risk, Cooper accompanied artists to train yards and lay-ups capturing many significant moments in aerosol art history.
Taking these photos, Martha and Henry Chalfant assembled, Subway Art, a book that has become a must-read for anyone interested in graffiti culture. Now 25 years and more than a half a million copies later, their bestselling book Subway Art is available in a large-scale, deluxe format with 70 additional photographs. Published in April by Chronicle Books, the landmark book is frequently credited as the catalyst and foundation for aerosol art movements worldwide.
Her photos, covering a wide variety of topics in addition to graffiti have appeared in countless publications throughout the world including National Geographic.
Today Martha is the Director of Photography at City Lore. Her's is just another example of the amazing creative work done by RPCVs.
Note: You can read an interview with Martha by Matthew Newton at Computer Love that also has some of her photos.
